From the press release: "The EdgeFX features all the normal buttons of a PS2 controller and complete support for all PS2 games, it also features force feed back, a speed button to adjust the overall controller speed and a focus button to switch to precision mode.

The EdgeFX allows you to move at maximum speeds and then instantly slow down for precision targeted shooting when the focus button is pressed. The rumble-mouse in the right hand adds to a true interactive experience.

SplitFish has patents pending on key internal portions of this technology. We expect the retail EdgeFX PS3 version that is now in production, to be available soon. Further we are measuring the demand for the readied xBox Halo designed version."

It'll be interesting to see if the force feedback is available in the PS3 version of the EdgeFX, providing a workaround to the rumble-less PS3 controller.

The PS2 EdgeFX Controller retails for $69.99 and will be available at GameStop from December 21st.
